Solutions

1. Check the attached error details and logs for the underlying cause.
2. Retry the operation; if persistent, report the issue with reproduction steps.

When it happens

Trigger: Occurs when an optional protobuf enum field is unset; the converter cannot map it to a concrete value.

Common situations: Usually an environment problem, a race, or an internal invariant violation.
